background: this study was aimed to investigate the association of consuming white rice and potato, as well as the bread type with anthropometric measures and blood pressure (bp) in a national sample of iranian children and adolescents. methods: this nationwide study was conducted in 2011-2012 among 14,880 students, aged 6-18 years, selected by multistage cluster sampling from 30 provinces of i...

conclusions examination of the fasting lipid profile has clinical importance in predicting the efficacy of peg-ifn-α-2b plus rbv combination therapy for patients with hcv g1b even after the discovery of the il28 genotype as a potent predictive factor. objectives to re-examine the significance of lipoprotein profiles on virological response to peg-ifn plus rbv combination therapy in patients wit...

the quality of pressure distribution over the atmosphere of the sea level and geopotential altitude at different atmosphere layers affect on many climate and meteorology phenomena of the earth surface. one of the important meteorology phenomenon is the occurrence of frost phenomenon especially late spring frost. in this surrey, occurring late spring frost days and minimum temperature during the...

background: aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a toxic compound that could be found in milk and dairy products. afm1 is the principle hydroxylated derivative of aflatoxin b1 (afb1), formed in liver and excreted into the milk in the mammary glands of both human and lactating animals that have been fed with afb1 contaminated diet. to the best of our knowledge, there is no report on stability of afm1 during p...

a high pressure drop happens when heavy oil with high viscosity moves through the oil pipeline. a variety of methods to avoid this pressure drop is available. one of which is injection of chemicals to reduce the viscosity and ultimately reduce pressure drop. using the pipesim software, the effect of dispersion of nano and micro-particles into the oil has been simulated to study the amount of th...

Vortex extrusion (VE) is a severe plastic deformation technique which is based on the synergies between high strain accumulation and high hydrostatic pressure. Such a high amount of pressure, places a mandate to seek the method for investigation of the load under processing conditions. For this, kinematically admissible velocity field and upper bound terms based on Bezier formulation are develo...

high blood pressure has become increasingly commonbetween people and also it takes a major risk factor for many diseases. the present study is done toperformthe collaborative care model in patients with high blood pressure. hypertension is defined as: systolic blood pressure (sbp) ≥140 mmhg or diastolic blood pressure (dbp) ≥90 mmhg .a collaborative care model is a native educating method based...

marbles containing high-pressure mineral assemblage was found from the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt in the nahavand area in western iran.  the high-pressure marbles occur as small bodies or lenses within pelitic schist layers and show compositional banding of carbonate- and silicate- rich bands.  textural analysis revealed two metamorphic stages.  the early stage is testified by relicts of ...
